Sandra: The cover of this book is absolutely beautiful but unfortunately not in perfect condition, as the packaging it arrived in was very poor and didn't protect it. That being said, I love Lang Leav's poems and definitely plan on reading more of her works. I would've given it 5 stars if it wasn't for the bend edges of the book.

Charlene: I was captured by this book because of how elegantly simple and economical with words Lang Leav’s poetry is. The poems touch on moments and emotions so beautifully and for some there was a strong emotional impact for me. Her poems were so resonant with me, and I felt very moved by this collection.

The book moves from the feeling of looking for someone, and losing someone, to finding love and happiness, and it’s wonderful to read each piece and take in the experience it’s trying to convey. I feel like this is a book that I will come back to many times over and be stirred by new things at different times in my life.

The illustrations by the author are quirky and cute, and while they didn’t add too much to the feel of the poems for me, it was wonderful to see how talented the author is and how this book felt so much like a true piece of art.

alexis: Overall it was good and clever but it didn't knock my socks off.
I know of Lang Leav's work somewhat from Tumblr and there's been a lot of "hoopla" I like to call about her poetry books. While I enjoyed the poems, nothing reached in and ripped my guts our or took my breath away. Perhaps it is her style that doesn't resonate with me, emotionally. The poems are quite good, very clever too. It's not easy to rhyme AND make sense. Loved the artwork too.
I liked that the book has page numbers (not all poetry books do, no idea why). I also appreciated the poems each had a title and were indexed in the book (not all poetry books do, no idea why not). One issue with the "Index" was the poetry were listed not in chronological order, but by title. So I had to keep going back to the poem and reference what the title was, which was a pain in the butt (and a waste of time really). In the "About" page I would have also listed the other places online you can find and connect with the poet, if you're interested. Oh, I liked the font they chose but I would have made the font slightly larger to read. Why not, you have the page space.
Out of seventy five poems, I like about twenty of them....

Rioux: This book was a purchase well made! I enjoyed reading many of the poems. Most of the work is short, simple, yet hauntingly beautiful and I felt myself really connecting with some of the poems. The reason I am knocking down one star is because although many of the poetry was powerful and evocative, there were a few poems in there that kind of made me scratch my head and wonder how I went from one lovely poem on one page then turn the page to read something such as:

"He makes me blush! He makes me want to brush and floss!" Girl, I hope he doesn't have a nasty mouth to make you want to clean your own.

In all seriousness though, it just felt like the author did not put as much thought into some poems that they lacked the same depth and maturity as the others. Some of these shallow poems did have potential though. Don't get me wrong, I was still able to very much enjoy this book. The thoughtful, well written poems make this book worth the buy! And I must also mention, the included artwork is delightful!

Wonderwoman: Poetry lover/liker or not, this book is a beautiful treasure to be discovered and devoured. I discovered Lang Leav's poetry on Tumblr and was immediately engrossed in the artistry and heart and soul of her words. They really touched me, and honestly helped me in a way I was not at all expecting. I'm an avid reader, and sometimes writer of poetry myself, and Lang is now definitely one of my favourite writers. She has such a fresh original voice, and the timeless message of her words will undoubtedly touch so many hearts, as it has mine.

I love everything about her book, the exquisite imagery that made my imagination euphoric. The structuring of her book, which is so creatively thoughtful and tells a story of its own. The titles of each poem are also very thought provoking and beautiful (I don't like to repeat adjectives, but they truly are nothing short of beautiful). The way her words are arranged, to their rhythm and rhyme, each poem felt like a dance, a celebration, a fireworks display.

As quickly as I read the book, I did not want it to end, and I feel as though something as touching and wonderful as poetry itself is the only way to appreciate and praise this...
